JULY 13, 2020 MINNESOTA: WAITING AROUND FOR A GOOD EVENING STORM
An intense rain and hail core on our initial storm to the southwest of Ottertail, Minnesota.
Vertical shot of the storm updraft above the intense rain and hail core.
Wall cloud forming on the storm with quick right to left condensation into the base.
Vibrant colors at sunset as the storm approached us near Deer Creek, Minnesota.
Magnificent color and storm structure at sunset!
Looking back to the east the other direction from the previous photo. Love the color of the blue sky and the backlit clouds from the setting sun.
